Prewatch the movie 'Titus' and if it seems like it would help, that may be a way. I've only about halfway through, but it's very interesting. Of course the Mom get portrayed negativly - to me she just seems human and isolated.
Still, so far it's been an amazing experience for DH and I to watch a child who is so much like our own, and yet, thankfully, ours isn't so extreame - and is like a ray of sunshine by comparison. I think that they are similar in the sense of 'the entire way that children are treated injures my pride and I will not tolerate it!'
Still, I've always wished that my husband could see and appreciate the 'path not taken' due to my personal efforts, instead of seeing the 'messy and odd parts.' I hope that as the movie unfolds and digests in my DH's mind, that I may get my wish.
((Humor Alert))
I did crack up when the subtitle under the mom read: "His IQ is so high, it's can't be measured!" I thought, well that's not saying much, neither can mine and we are definitly talking a different LOG here.
I think that visits with other families who are facing similar issues are a better avenue for most DHs than books. There is a DVD version of 'MisDiagnosis and Dual Diagnosis' by James Webb at SENG. I haven't seen it, but if anyone has, I'd love a review.
